Does the HF model come with a die for edge rolling?

awesome feedback guys... I am definately at the point of purchase here, I will make sure to post pics of what I end up with. As far as HF coming with a edge roll die I dont know. They might have pics and info on their site..

...looks like Mitler brothers wins the race for me.. The automated 24" slip roller is what I plan on purchasing. Seems to be reasonably priced and the CNC finish on it won me over as well

on a side note, what thickness aluminum are most panels made from? I work with larger material and will need to order a few sheets of whatever size is common

EDIT: I did a little looking around and found some info on what type of aluminum and thickness to use. But would love to hear some personal opinions

.063" 3003 H14, or 5052 H32 are both common alloys for body panels. I prefer 3003.

A slip roller is different from a bead roller. . .right? Swapping terminology on me or are you getting a slip roll instead of a bead roller? Or does the MB slip roller do bead rolls as well. . .

my mistake, I just meant 24" Throat depth rather than "slip"

and thank you for the material info. DB
